Very good.

Wonderful👍🏽

Frozen bar

So there’s this frozen bar across the top of the frame whenever I open the app. I purchased this app and figured there wouldn’t be no issues. I tried contacting support it says not found.

Спасибо за Ваш труд

Извините за отрицательный отзыв, но это негодится. 16мм похоже на 12мм, 25мм больше похоже на 16мм по углам обзора. Непонятно зачем выбирать камеру, если калибровать нужно любую из предложенных.
Update:
Допустим, один раз, но если я хочу взять камеру в аренду, то мне придётся, брать её два раза, первый чтоб сматчить угол обзора, затем сдать камеру, сделать раскадровку, подобрать линзы и взять второй раз камеру чтоб уже снимать.
Даже если в рентале я смогу договориться о том, что я сматчу на месте без аренды. Мне один фиг придётся ездить туда два раза.
Не проще ли вам, сделать калибрацию под каждую модель айфона и айпада в приложении.
И не парить людям мозги по этому поводу. Люди это в основном не оценят, но претензий не будет.
